Re: Shorted the M3 Motor

Tobias, Thanks for your help. Replacing that transistor worked great. I made sure and put some heat shrink around those open wires this time. That was not easy. I used 15W on the soldering iron at first, but it wasn't melting the existing solder so I bumped it up to 30W and it worked. Those transist...

Re: Shorted the M3 Motor

I tested the resistance last night and it is reading differently than the others. All the others had a resistance of about 5.5 on the lowest setting of the multimeter, and M3 was reading 0.7. I'll do my best to replace the transistor. I'm guessing the best way to do that is by using a solder sucker ...

[SOLVED] Only see debug://0/0 when scanning for usb dongle

I got everything working and now I see what the problem was. You have to turn the crazyflie on to see the radio://09/250 or radio://10/250. Silly me.... :roll:

Re: Shorted the M3 Motor

Hi Tobias. Thanks. I thought it was doomed. I do have a multimeter and I'll check it this evening after work. If I get it working again, my next project is to get those training wheels installed :)

[SOLVED] Shorted the M3 Motor

Hey everyone, I had to solder the M3 wires back together which left them open and they accidently touched while I was flying. Now the motor spins at full speed when the battery is plugged in and none of the others are responsive. I guess I shorted it. Anybody have an idea what happened and if there ...

Re: Only see debug://0/0 when scanning for usb dongle

I'm running OSX 10.7.5. Actually I just looked in System Information and it does show up.

Then I boot up the cfclient and its still not in the list? Any ideas?

[SOLVED] Only see debug://0/0 when scanning for usb dongle

Hi, I just got my crazyflie a couple of weeks ago and very excited to get developing with it. I'm on MACOSX and have installed all the dependencies using the instructions provided, but cannot see the radio uri after scanning in the cflclient? I was using a virtualenv at first and also installed all ...

Keyboard Controls

Hi Everyone, I just received my CrazyFlie in the mail. It's gonna be a lot of fun. So far I've made time to solder one of the motors on and it initialized just fine :D Today I"ve loaded the PC Client in a Virtual Env and got it running. Getting passed the pyqt was a bit dicy but I figured it ou...
